Saint Albert

Stephens missed a free header. Great JWP free kick.

That was a really good chance for Spurs.

1-1 Kane from a corner. Normal service resumed.

Good low save by McCarthy. Thought it hit the post at first, but the commentators have it down as a save.

Thank you Davinson Sanchez.

OG!!!!! 1-0 Saints

Good start. Supporters in good voice so far.

In his pre-match interview, Pellegrino confirmed that Long is out because he is sick.

Too bad about Long, he’s been brilliant the last couple of games. Pellegrino has picked a decent line up. It’s almost as if his job is in the line...

Judging by the presence of at least four Marco Silva threads on here, I assume that posters are keen on him. He’s a mercenary- the situation at Watford proves that. The first big club to come along and bat their eyes at him, and he’d either be off or we’d get a repeat of Watford. If it’s a matter of just bringing him in short term, like Hull City did, it might work largely on the basis that he’s probably better than Pellegrino.

Good point. It does not make much sense to sign Carillo if Pellegrino is on the chopping block, especially as his club seem to be playing hardball on the fee, if you believe the media reports.

This.

That is how you replace a manager - the already lined up bit. Take note Les & Co. Watford were on a terrible run of results. I thought he would be fired after the first half in our game against them but based on the second half display he managed to pull his nuts out of the fire for one week.

Apparently not.

The bigger obstacle may be signing Carillo without Pellegrino, because of his association with Pellegrino. I’d rather we went for Slimani than Carillo.

Forren?

This article was less fluffy than usual. It almost has a resigned air to it. I feel sorry for Pellegrino. All signs point to him being a very decent sort of chap, who is simply not as good as we hoped.

This is a new one. Do you know something?

Huddersfield look poor. It’s a measure of Pellegrino’s inadequacy as a manger that he couldn’t beat them.

Everton and W. Brom end 1-1

He should be sacked in n Sunday if we don’t get a result. I’m assuming that Les and Co have been dragging this out in order to get a suitable replacement lined up and ready to go right away. I appreciate this is a big assumption.

Full time 2-0 for Stoke against Huddersfield.

He wasn’t at fault for the Stoke goals, but still Huddersfield’s keeper could possess the unique attribute of being worse than Fraser Forster.

Huddersfield could be in trouble based on this. Liverpool and Man U next up for them after the FA Cup.

You would have thought that the cold hard reality of being in the relegation zone, will push the board into the action after Sunday’s game, assuming we lose to Spurs. The teams around us will be hoping that the club keep the faith with Pellegrino.
